COMMENTS: Okay, so we won last night's game 6-0, with a surprisingly effective performance from starter Chan Ho Park and two--count 'em, two!--home runs from a punchless offense. Before you get all excited, remember that we won the opening game of a series three other times this month, and we went on to win only one of those three series. Me, I'm still concerned about the Red Scare of the AL West-leading Angels; if we are to make like the caption in the above poster, such that "the people and the army are one," can we please gather the resources to drown out the Reds in the crowd and on the field tonight? (That's right, yet another historical-reference Game Thread, brought to you by your comrades at SoSG.)

And thanks very much to SoSG reader John G for his kindness and generosity in offering up tickets for tonight's game!

stace, as long as it's not the team that scores early but still plays like the Bad News Bears, then I'm okay with it. Though I hear you, last night's Dodger squad was one I hadn't seen in 50-odd games.

I am out at dinner tonight too, and not with Orel. Will catch up later!

I understand Scioscia. He realized this is a very close game and he understands the value of the Dodgers bullpen. He tried to score some runs in the only chance his players gave him in the entire game so far.
